2006 Honda Ridgeline RTL 4dr Crew Cab AWD SB (3.5L 6cyl 5A)

Review

This vehicle drives and rides like a mid-size sedan. Turning radius is more than anticipated for a vehicle this size. It's brakes are superb; however, I don't use it for towing. Acceleration is acceptable and drive train is smooth. Was dissapointed with gas mileage. Could be a few mpg better. Middle arm rest needs to be re- designed to allow it to come farther forward for greater comfort and to make the internal compartments more accessible. Usual Honda reliability so far. We have three Hondas.

Favorite Features

Ride and versatility.

Suggested Improvements

Brake pedal too close to accelerator pedal allowing both to be depressed simultaneously; a safety hazard in my book.

1. IT CAN'T TOW AT ALL no more then maybe 6000 lbs. if you're lucky which i was not. They could learn a lot form Ford about trucks! 2. It has some room but the avalanche is much better! 3. This truck needs better MPG It has about as much as the american trucks but it is sissy truck! So It could have more!

Favorite Features

Review

My third Honda and just as great as the others. Total quality and very functional. Flaws? It does have a blind spot where the rear pillers are but the mirror helps illiminate it. I would definitely recommend this vehicle. Lots of power and creature comforts.

Excellent vehicle with no problems so far. Everytime I fill the tank, someone asks me about it. I've had people take a look and say they were heading right to the dealership to buy one. So versatile. Nothing else like it with Honda reliability.

best I've ever owned

Review

This car/truck is the most comfortable, versatile, and stable vehicle I've owned. It replaces an F- 150 and a Honda Pilot. Well satified with both, neither is as much fun to drive nor as pracitcal. It hauls and tows willingly, has a cavernous interior, yet, it's easier to park and handles better than the Pilot and it's more stable on the road than the F-150 or the Pilot. My wife drives it around town, and I on the road to work. Were we to replace it, it would be with a comparable model 2007 Ridgeline.

Favorite Features

Trunk in the bed, fold-up rear seat and exceptionally comfortable leather seats. Everything seems to fit, seating position, gas and break petals, and the interior passenger room is fantastic.

Suggested Improvements

Power passenger seat.

Review

I have had my Ridgeline for 7 months now and love it. It rides great, has plenty of space, gets good fuel mileage and has had no mechanical problems in 10,000+ mile (can’t say that for my last Chevy or Ford) My fuel mileage is usually 20 - 22 on the highway and drops to 18-19 when pulling two heavy 4 wheelers. This is the first truck that I have had that might wife likes to drive which is also a bonus. I like it much better than my previous full sized Ford or Chevy as it feel and is finished like a nice SUV rather than a pickup truck.

Favorite Features

The fuel milage is much better than my previous trucks and is normally about 20-22 mph. the truck in back is really great. I had no idea that I would use the lockable watperproof trunk space as much as I do. The backseat is big enough for a 6'4" 240lb guy (me) to sit for long distances.

Suggested Improvements

It would be great to have the hitch factory installed, and for the Ipod hookup to come standard.

Ridgleline is A+++

Review

Very well thought out truck. I drove one for the weekend (our shop truck) and realized my Dodge Ram was not as practical and did not drive nearly as well as the Ridgeline. This truck has enough power to do what 95% of truck owners need. If people would just drive this truck, they would love it. The looks grow on you, and it is a head turner for sure. I would recomend this truck to anyone with no hesitation.

Favorite Features

The quiet ride. Well thought out controls. Dual action tailgate. You can carry 4X8 plywood/drywall in bed flat! The locking trunk in the bed is something you will never want to be without after you have one.

Suggested Improvements

Love it as is..............
